10 things I hate about agile development.Agile development. Love it or hate it, there's no doubt that it's here to stay. I've enjoyed a great deal of success thanks to agile software development and agile project management methods, but here are 10 things I hate about Agile!

Agile Business Conference 2010 in LondonI've recently received an email from the organisers of the Agile Business Conference 2010 in London. For those that aren't on their mailing list, I've copied their message below for you.

They're asking for suggestions for the topics of the various breakout sessions. If you're planning to go, I strongly encourage you to put your ideas forward!
